Description

Waze is the world's largest community-based traffic and navigation app. Join drivers in your area who share real-time traffic & road info to save time, gas money, and improve daily commuting for all.

Just by driving with Waze open, you're already contributing tons of real-time traffic information to your local community. You can also actively report accidents, police traps and other hazards you see on the road. Get road alerts along your route and find the cheapest gas prices around you shared by the community. Plus, you can add friends, send locations or keep others posted on your arrival time.

This is by far my favorite travel app. Very accurate traffic data for places that dont even have traffic sensors by using social traffic data. Apple should have just bought these guys and threw there satellite imagery on top.

I have heard of a few problems with this, but I never had any! I enjoyed, as a passenger, marking any "hazards," (cops, construction, roadkill, vehicles on the shoulder, etc.) feeling like I was doing my part to "warn" others.

For time to destination and alerts, absolutely. For overall directions, no. I still default to TomTom for a new destination. It's spot on. But Waze is pretty good (and getting better). For daily commutes or other common routes, I always go Waze. Plus the social aspects are kinda cool.
